Just learned that Major Mike Sadler died last week on the 4th at 103 years of age. He was the last surviving founding member of the SAS and the last survivor of the Long Range Desert Group. Rest In Peace, legendary sir.

Many of you may have been introduced to his story through Stephen Knight’s SAS: Rogue Heroes

There comes a point when you are doing too much research for fanfic, and that point is probably way before you’re looking up the interactions between the Cocos and Nazcas plates in order to decide where you would put a fictional island if you want it off the coast of Colombia.

daisy!!!!! friend, i think that with all the hard work and thought you've put into this rp, and the open and attentive way you've been with us for our questions and everything — you are allowed tarantulas. we're all playing pretend cats and i think we would all love tarantulas, even if it's not geographically correct 🤍

Aw, you are so sweet!! 💜🫂

An escaped one established a population and the cats could, for all intents and purposes, create proper warmth to keep them as pets if they so chose... And they hibernate during winter. Much to think about!

Which also this just reminded me, I have to add a section to character creation regarding pets! As I would like to allow people to submit characters with pets, especially considering that there is a whole role within Skyreach about partnering with a bird of prey!

I have no opinion on Megamind 2. It's an interesting concept, sure, but just that- a concept. I think it could be cool if done right but alas, it will go on the same shelf as a potential sequel to Pacific Rim. Merely a thought experiment and nothing more.

This is the view of Mt. Adams (the peak in question from the prior post) from the top of Big Huckleberry in southern Washington (this photo was taken more than forty years ago). At 12,281 feet high, it is the second tallest peak in Washington and the third highest in the Cascade Range. The PCT rounds the west side.

A Hidden Ocean Beneath Oregon’s Cascades? Scientists Uncover a Massive Underground Aquifer

Over 81 cubic kilometers of fresh water is the current estimate. This subterranean ocean, tucked within the region’s porous volcanic rock, could hold billions of gallons, reshaping our…

Coastal Pacific

The equal of the better known TranzAlpine train, the Coastal Pacific train links Christchurch with Picton, through some of New Zealand’s finest scenery. I’ve driven the road, which runs parallel with the train track in places, many times, but the train is the best way to enjoy the views without having to concentrate on the road, and the railway often takes the more scenic route. It was a rather…
